By Nageswararao. Y
1
Clinical Trial Systems – Key Application Areas
Protocol Development Investigator/Site Selection and Trial Preparation Subject Identification and Enrollment Collection, Monitoring and Processing of Data Data Analysis and Reporting Safety and Adverse Event Reporting - Pharmacovigilance Submission for Review by Regulatory Authorities
2
Clinical Trial Systems – Stakeholders
Protocol Development – Principal Investigator Trial Sponsor
Investigator/Site Selection and Trial Preparation Sites Trial Sponsor IRB
Subject Identification and Enrollment Sites
Collection, Monitoring and Processing of Data Trial Sponsor Sites

Trial Management Trial Sponsor, Sites
Data Analysis and Reporting Trial Sponsor
Submission for Review by Regulatory Authorities Trial Sponsor to agency
4
Clinical Trial Systems – Technology Usage
• Protocol Development – – Word Processing software such as Word, Adobe– Document Management Solutions such as Documentum for organizing
and standardizing the process of protocol development– Protocol Authoring / Modeling tools– Simulation software
• Investigator/Site Selection and Trial Preparation – Excel Sheets– In House Tracking systems to track receipt/ approvals of documents – Internet based software systems
5
Clinical Trial Systems – Technology Usage – Cont…• Subject Identification and Enrollment
– Media Advertisements– Databases from local hospitals - – Call centers– Publicly available subject data from organizations such as Center Watch
• Collection, Monitoring and Processing of Data– Clinical Data Management Systems (Paper based)– Electronic Data Capture
• First Generation EDC tools – OCR and OMR (Post Marketing Trials)– Remote Data Entry – IVRS (Interactive Voice Response Systems)
6
Clinical Trial Systems – Technology Usage – Cont…
• Second Generation EDC tools– Integrated functionalities with much more clinical trial
process functionalities– Extensive usage of internet– Hybrid systems with 2 modes of operations, online and
offline– Enhanced IVRS– ePRO systems

Clinical Trial Systems – Study Management
A Program represents the top level in the grouping hierarchy of studies.
Typically a Program is matched to a drug under investigation.
Project maps to an indication or a formulation of the drug.
Project is a collection of multiple studies.
Assign multiple compounds to a program.
Create a Program and the Projects associated with a Program
10
Clinical Trial Systems – Study Management – Cont… Organizational Unit defines the sponsors of a study
Sponsor A Sponsor B
Geographical Regions can be added to a study and one of them can be made as the Master geographical region United States (Master) India SriLanka
Historical events may be one of two kinds: event recording triggered by the system, or a user-defined event Creation of this study Creation of a study version Setting or changing the randomization access codes for a study Setting or changing the study status
11
Clinical Trial Systems – Study Management – Cont… Set start and end dates for studies
Set Study Objectives – A study can have more than one objective
Set Enrollment Criteria – The list of criteria for including / excluding a subject in a trial
Set Termination Criteria – The reasons for terminating a subject from a study
Set Study Comment – Comments about the study
Manage study design – One of the several clinical trial designs available to conduct a clinical trial
12
Clinical Trial Systems – Site/Investigator Management
• Create Sites• Assign a site to a study• Assign an investigator to a study site• Link Patient positions to the site• Maintain Investigator data• Assign Treatments to a site• Creating Strata and Randomization criteria• Creating, Reviewing or Canceling blind breaks
13
Clinical Trial Systems – Treatments/ Events and Randomization
Active Substances- Active substances are the New chemical entities which are being investigated
Active Drug- The drug currently under investigation
Treatment Regimen (A systematic Plan) defining the details about a drug’s dosing a single regimen is created combinations of single regimens is a Combination Regimen
14
Clinical Trial Systems – Treatments/ Events and Randomization
Timelines, Periods, Sub periods and Phases
Strata and Randomization strata means groupings of patients that have common characteristics;
they are representations of particular expressions of factors.
Randomization is the process of hiding patients’ treatments by assigning treatment patterns to patient positions in an unpredictable order
Patient positions represent potential study participants
Each factor describes a single characteristic, such as sex or age.

Study Management – Adverse Events
19
Clinical Trial Systems – Adverse Event Management
• Ability to enter and manage Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Event.
• Manage Adverse Event Discrepancy
20
Clinical Trial Systems – Oracle AERS
21
Clinical Trial Systems – Patient Diary
• Get Quality of Life Questionnaires filled by patients.
• Scheduled and Unscheduled entries - Send reminders to subjects, administer questionnaires, alert them for any invalid entries.
• Patient Compliance Tracking – Enables to track patient compliance by using date time stamps, edit checks and automatic scheduled reminders.
• Data can be secured and provide instant access to Investigators and Sponsors on a 24/7 basis.
22
Clinical Trial Systems – External data
Import / Export data between clinical trial systems, AERS systems, Financial and ERP systems
Can be CDISC or non CDISC based data transfer Operational Data can be typically split into Admin, Study, Subject,
Audit trail sections
LAB data can be transferred between LIMS and CTMS
Adverse Event integration would happen with systems like Oracle Clinical
Contracts and other financial data can be transferred from financial and ERP systems
Inventory related information such as Supplies can be integrated with manufacturing controls
23
Clinical Trial Systems – External data – Cont…
• Randomization details could be integrated from IVRS based systems
• Contract details could also be retrieved from Document Management systems such as Documentum, ERP systems or Financial systems
• Document management systems like Documentum and Adobe can be integrated with CTMS easily.
